Red Sky Mods - Part Two

yeah. those coil ends need to be cut short right at the post or they can come in contact with the inside of the top shell.
My A7 is working so nice and better than any atty I've used. So no more io6 or any other attys for me. This is probably the best vape gear purchase I've done since RSM. I use hemp wick now and I definately like it better than silica although it needs to be rebuilt/replaced more often.

how about a close up picture of your setup pchela so we can all take a look?

Just to add to this advice regardless of your wick type make sure your coil/wick has no chance of resting on the center juice feed tube either as it can also short out.

I can't help you much with the A7, I really can't get the same results on this one as on the ERA, I never managed to get suitable results on this one, not because it's not good, but only because I had some ERAs before and can't make a proper coil on the A7 as it's a bit different

 

[pchela]

I would think a short too but it's been this way since I got it - with the pre installed wick, the replacement wick and now the SS wicks. I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what.

 

[chet]

hmm... maybe a lemon?

Hope you figure this out pchela because this thing gives me a good throat hit even with my 3mg juice. Other atties and tanks I tried so far can give good vapor but not throat hit. I don't know why.

The only other thing I can think of is that sometimes the adjustable positive post on the bottom hits the inside of the 510 connector and shorts.

Well, I've been messing with it for a couple of hours and I did get a good coil built with lots of vapor and okay throat hit (btw - I'm a wuss - I like a mild throat hit) - anyway, it worked great for a few minutes and then shorted enough to kill the coil. I think the SS mesh must be hitting something. It's difficult to position it where it's not hitting metal and is still low enough to wick anyway and if it's just so, it very easily could touch the center post or sides. So... I don't know how other people are getting the SS wicks to work with these. I'm not a fan of the silica wicks so maybe I'll wait until I can get ahold of a ceramic wick. If my theory is correct, that should work really well in the A7.

One of the coils I built today went from 1.8 ohms on the Provari to 4... without me doing anything. This was one push of the button to the next. That's weird right?

It happened to me before few times. I think it's the sign of shorting somewhere.

I personally don't think the A7 is a good design for a ss wick alone. Now a silica wraped SS wick maybe but in that case I would leave the coil fairly high and let the silica wick up from the well. That isn't to say some people aren't doing it but to me I just don't think I would get along well with it.

She pulled into port today, looking a little worn. But with a little touching up ( light sanding, a bit of rejuvenating oil and a coat of ebony beeswax) she is looking as good as new. I like shiny but opted to go satin on this. Ebony wood has a great feel and look to it. Too bad maybe cost wise, that it is not offered as a body wood for the new mods.

Happy Aloha Friday maties. Kinda slow in here today. Oh well everyone have a great weekend.

Haven't heard from Cappy for a little bit - you okay Cappy?

 

[Capt' Brian]

Ahoy Pchela, I'm fine, just been letting the forum run itself for a bit while I work.

Hope you all have a great weekend, arrr!

 

[rtrain99]

I almost thought I was the only one on board. Ahoy Cappy and pchela.
